Add a TXT record to verify that you own the domain

Before you use your domain with Office 365, we have to make sure that you own it. Your ability to log in to your account at your domain registrar and create the DNS record proves to Office 365 that you own the domain.

Note

This record is used only to verify that you own your domain; it doesn't affect anything else. You can delete it later, if you like.

Make sure that the fields are set to precisely the following values for the empty record:

记录类型 (record type): TXT

主机记录(RR) (host name): @

解析线路 (network): Use the default value

记录值 (record value): Paste Destination or Points to Address value that you just copied.

TTL: 10分钟 (10 minutes)

Click 保存 (save).

To complete setting up your domain with Office 365, you change your domain's NS records at your domain registrar to point to the Office 365 operated by 21Vianet primary and secondary name servers. This sets up Office 365 to update the domain's DNS records for you. We'll add all records so that email, Lync, and your public website work with your domain, and you'll be all set.

Caution

When you change your domain's NS records to point to the Office 365 name servers, all the services that are currently associated with your domain are affected. For example, all email sent to your domain (like rob@ your_domain.com) will start coming to Office 365 after you make this change.
